The Besseggen Ridge in Jotunheimen is one of Norway's most iconic hikes. Located in the heart of Norway's highest mountain range, the hike offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The hike is not for the faint of heart, as it involves a steep climb of over 1,000 metres. But the effort is worth it, as the views from the top are breathtaking. The hike takes around six to eight hours, and is best done in the summer months when the weather is at its best. The hike is also popular for its wild reindeer, which can be seen grazing on the mountainside. The Besseggen Ridge is a must-do for any outdoor enthusiast visiting Norway. With its stunning views and wild reindeer, it is an unforgettable experience.
